inc1 – Increment (easy version) – Computer Science by Example

inc1 – Increment (easy version)

Write a program that reads a single number and prints its increment, i.e. its value added to one.

Your program should read from the standard input and print to the standard output. The standard input and output devices are usually the keyboard and screen of a command line session. Here are a few example sessions:

$ ./inc1
2
3

$ ./inc1
123
124

Input and Output

The input contains a single line with one integer x where

0 ≤ x ≤ 100 000.

The output should contain a line with a single integer y where y = x + 1 and should be terminated by a line break.

Example input 1

Example output 1

Example input 2

Example output 2

The `inc` function

For a full score, in addition to producing the correct output, the program should be implemented using a inc function that receives one integers as argument and returns an integer. Please refer to the information for the chosen language:

C prototype: int inc(int x);
Haskell type: inc :: Int -> Int
Python definition: def inc(x):
C++ prototype: int inc(int x);
C# definition: public static int Inc(int x) inside a class Program
Java definition: public static int inc(int x) inside a public class Inc
JavaScript definition: function inc(x)
Lua definition: function inc(x)
Ruby definition: def inc(x)

If you’re confused, try earning a partial score first.

Scoring

Submit your solution to be graded according to the following list:

2/12: produces the correct sum for the above examples in an incorrect format
4/12: produces the correct sum for the above examples in the correct format
8/12: produces the correct sum for other examples
12/12: implements the inc function

Hints

Automated judge: Keep in mind that when your program is submitted it will not be run by a human but instead by an automated judge. Instructions should be followed exactly or the judge will not give you a full score.

Your program should not print messages like Please type a number: or The increment is 10. Instead, just print the resulting number followed by a line break as in the example output.
Exit immediately: Your program should print the addition result then exit immediately. Do not use system("pause"), sleep(1) or anything of sorts.
Redirecting input: On most systems (Windows / Linux / OS X), it is possible to redirect the standard input and output of your program to files, like so:
```
$ ./inc1 <inputfile.txt >outputfile.txt
```
If you create a plain text file with the “example input”, the above command should produce a plain text file with the “example output”.
Windows users: On Windows, you should not use ./ to run a program in the current directory, do instead:
```
 C:\> inc1.exe
 41
 42
```
Easier exercises: If you have difficulty with this exercise, try the hello and repeat1 exercises first.

try first: repeat1

try also: triple1
